Hey @ColaIan Can you help me understand the use case for the SMTP server support for your organisation ?

Hey @aggmoulik , me and a couple of friends are just planning to use it for a hobby organization without getting vendor locked in.

Hey @ColaIan, this is in our self-hosting roadmap, but we are not able to pick it up as a priority.
It is open for contributions. Thank you for raising the issue.

Also, if you are working on a hobby project, then Resend gives 3000 emails per month for free. So I think it would be enough for hobby projects.

Hey @ColaIan , I'd like to work on this. Planning to add Nodemailer-based SMTP as a fallback when SMTP_HOST env var is set. Let me know if you had a different approach in mind.

Hey @aryansingh1718, that would be amazing, tysm!
